Techno Homelessness

More of the style of music I tend to listen to nowadays. This time Copenhagen duo Lulu Rouge with their video for Bless you, released in 2008. I didn't see it until the other day, and safe to say: I was blown away by their artistic vision. I immediately found someone on Discogs who sold the album, and got him to ship it to Sweden.

The video in question centers around a young homeless boy whose situation is despited in an unnamed metropolitan city. It is not for the faint of heart. But seeing how much culture has become numbing and basically for entertainment purposes only: I believe that we need more videos such as this one. This is everything but panem et circenses / bread and circuses.

Light from Russia


There is a lot of great electronic music that comes from Russia these days. Here is a collection of stunning images to go with the artist Kabana's track Erevan - taken from the album The Sound of Nature vol. 2, out on Cold Tear Records.

Behind the moniker Kabana is Alexey Frolov, from the city of Smolensk.
